Educational  Tests  for  Use  in  Elementary 
Schools,  Revised 


An  intelligent  attitude  toward  educational  tests.  For  a  num- 
ber, of  years  the  almost  unlimited  use  of  educational  tests  has  been 
urged  with  much  enthusiasm  and  eloquence  by  a  very  large  number 
of  those  who  have  contributed  to  educational  literature,  as  well 
as  by  many  of  those  who  have  addressed  educational  gatherings. 
Recently  a  more  critical  attitude  has  developed  toward  these 
measuring  instruments.  Attention  is  being  called  to  their  defects 
and  limitations.  As  a  result  some  people  may  be  in  doubt  con- 
cerning the  attitude  which  they  should  maintain.  There  is  no 
question  but  that  educational  tests,  properly  used,  are  valuable  in- 
struments in  the  hands  of  teachers  and  supervisors,  but  it  should 
always  be  remembered  that  they  are  imperfect  instruments.  The 
measures  of  ability  which  they  yield  involve  errors  which  in  some 
cases  are  sufficiently  large  to  lead  to  erroneous  conclusions.  In 
order  that  the  greatest  good  may  result  from  the  use  of  educational 
tests,  one  should  avoid  the  uncritical  belief  that  the  measures  which 
they  yield  are  highly  accurate  and  reliable.  On  the  other  hand  one 
should  bear  in  mind  that  in  general  they  yield  more  accurate  in- 
formation than  can  be  secured  through  other  sources. 

A  prerequisite  for  intelligent  selection  of  a  test  for  school  use. 
A  prerequisite  for  an  intelligent  selection  of  an  educational  test 
is  a  definite  plan  for  using  the  information  which  it  yields.  One 
reason  for  this  is  that  tests  differ  in  function.  Some  of  the  tests 
enumerated  in  the  following  list  have  a  general  survey  function, 
others  are  diagnostic;  some  are  power  tests,  others  are  rate  tests. 
Unless  a  test  is  selected  whose  function  is  in  agreement  with  one's 
purpose,  it  is  likely  that  the  time  and  money  invested  in  the  test- 
ing will  fail  to  yield  adequate  returns.  Another  reason  is  that 
the  absence  of  a  well-defined  plan  frequently  results  in  no  use  being 
made  of  the  scores  obtained.  The  number  of  cases  in  which  a  test 
has  been  given  and  the  results  filed  away  without  having  been 
used  is  surprisingly  large.  One  should  not  undertake  the  giving 
of  any  educational  test  merely  because  other  people  are  doing  it. 
Unless  it  appears  likely  that  the  test  will  secure  information  which

may  be  used  to  increase  the  effectiveness  of  instruction  or  the  or- 
ganization of  the  school,  its  administration  should  not  be  under- 
taken. 

Purposes  to  be  realized  by  the  use  of  educational  tests.     The 

more  important  uses  of  educational  tests  may  be  grouped  under 
the  five  following  heads : 

1.  Promotion  and  classification  of  pupils 

2.  Educational  and  vocational  guidance 

3.  Evaluation  of  school  efficiency 

4.  Diagnosing  pupils  in  order  to  provide  remedial  instruction 

5.  Educational  research 

From  the  standpoint  of  the  teacher  the  diagnosing  of  pupils 
in  order  to  provide  remedial  instruction  is  the  most  important 
use  that  can  be  made  of  information  yielded  by  educational  tests. 
The  principal  or  superintendent  will  find  educational  tests  helpful 
in  the  promotion  and  classification  of  pupils  and  also  in  the  evalu- 
ation of  school  efficiency.  Educational  and  vocational  guidance 
become  important  beyond  the  sixth  grade. 

Criteria  to  be  observed  in  selecting  a  test.  In  addition  to  a 
well-defined  purpose  there  are  certain  other  criteria  which  should 
guide  one  in  selecting  a  test  for  use.  The  scope  of  this  pamphlet 
does  not  permit  their  complete  enumeration.  If  possible  one  should 
consult  critical  studies  of  the  tests  and  utilize  the  scientific  infor- 
mation which  is  available  concerning  their  reliability  and  validity.1 
When  satisfactory  critical  studies  are  not  available  there  are  a  few 
relatively  simple  criteria  which  always  should  be  applied. 

1.  The  test  should  be  reasonably  simple  to  give  and  should  not 
require  a  large  amount  of  time  for  scoring.  The  scoring  also 
should  be  highly  objective.  This  criterion  is  particularly  important 
when  educational  tests  are  being  introduced  into  a  school  system. 

2.  No  test  should  be  selected  for  use  unless  it  is  accompanied 
by  detailed  directions  for  its  administration  and  scoring. 

3.  When  a  second  application  of  the  test  is  desired  the  use 
of  a  duplicate  form  is  recommended.    Frequently  such  forms  have

University  of  Illinois  Bulletin,  Vol.  19,  No.  22,  Bureau  of  Educational  Eesearch 
Bulletin  No.  8.  Urbana:  University  of  Illinois,  1922.  52  p.  This  study  is  typ- 
ical of  a  large  number  which  have  been  made.  In  it  several  silent  reading 
tests  have  been  studied  in  detail.  They  have  been  compared  with  each  other 
and  with  certain  criteria.  The  study  leads  to  certain  significant  conclusions 
concerning  the  reliability  and  validity  of  the  tests  studied.

been  found  to  be  lacking  in  equivalence  and  for  this  reason  it  is 
important  that  the  degree  of  their  equivalence  be  known. 

4.  Usually  a  test  should  not  be  chosen  unless  satisfactory 
norms  are  available.  Occasionally  the  use  of  a  test  which  is  in 
process  of  standardization  is  justified.  However,  for  the  most 
part  it  is  wise  to  limit  the  selection  to  those  tests  for  which  satis- 
factory norms  have  been  determined. 

5.  The  cost  of  the  test  materials  deserves  consideration  but 
in  estimating  the  cost  one  should  always  take  into  account  the 
amount  and  significance  of  the  information  yielded  by  the  test. 
We  now  have  available  some  batteries  of  educational  tests  which 
yield  measures  of  achievement  in  several  different  fields.  Although 
the  expense  per  pupil  for  such  a  battery  of  tests  may  seem  large, 
it  may  prove  much  less,  when  considered  with  reference  to  the 
information  yielded,  than  that  for  other  tests  having  a  smaller  cost 
per  pupil. 

The  most  valuable  tests  for  use  in  the  elementary  school.  The 
value  of  a  test  depends  upon  the  uses  made  of  the  information 
which  it  yields.  Some  of  the  more  important  uses  have  been 
enumerated  above.  Although  any  test  which  fulfills  its  purpose 
is  valuable,  in  general  the  two  most  helpful  fields  for  testing  are 
general  intelligence  and  silent  reading.  In  case  one  has  time  for 
only  one  test  it  is  recommended  that  the  selection  be  made  in  one 
of  these  fields.  Measures  of  general  intelligence  are  helpful  in 
interpreting  measures  of  achievement  and  are  valuable  for  other 

I  purposes  also.     Ability  in  silent  reading  is  a  prerequisite  to  suc- 

.  cessful  work  in  most  of  the  other  school  subjects. 

How  often  to  give  educational  tests.     Except  in  the  study  of 

\  special  problems  an  intelligence  test  should  not  be  given  to  the 
same  pupils  more  frequently  than  every  other  year.    New  entrants 

I  may  be  tested  as  they  appear.  Achievement  tests  may  well  be  given 
more  frequently  but  it  is  doubtful  if  it  is  profitable  to  administer 
them  more  than  twice  a  year,  near  the  beginning  and  near  the  close. 

I  For  most  purposes  it  will  be  satisfactory  to  give  a  test  only  once 
during  the  school  year.    When  this  is  done  it  is  recommended  that 

I  the  test  be  given  as  soon  after  the  beginning  of  the  year  as  possible. 

I  Some  have  urged  the  giving  of  achievement  tests  at  the  end  of  each 
month  in  order  to  measure  the  monthly  progress.    In  the  judgment 

I  of  the  writer  this  is  not  a  wise  plan.  The  constant  errors  of  meas- 

^-urement   resulting  from  practice   effect   and   other   causes   are   so 

[S] 


large  that  small  grains  can  have  little  significance.  Therefore,  it  is 
recommended  that  achievement  tests  in  the  same  subject  be  given 
not  more  than  two.  or  at  most  three,  times  during  the  school  year. 

Scope  of  the  following  list.  It  has  been  the  intention  of  the 
writer  to  include  only  those  tests  in  the  following  list  which  are 
now  available  for  general  school  use.  Tests  which  are  known  to  be 
distinctly  unsatisfactory  are  omitted  even  though  they  can  be  pur- 
chased in  quantity.  In  some  cases  tests  whose  value  remains  to  be 
demonstrated  have  been  included  because  it  Avas  thought  worth 
while  to  make  announcement  of  promising  tests  in  process  of  con- 
struction. Norms  are  available  for  all  except  a  few  of  the  tests 
listed  and  for  these  norms  will  doubtless  be  announced  soon.  No 
complete  description  or  criticism  of  the  tests  has  been  attempted. 
Certain  comments  have  been  inserted  which  may  be  helpful  in 
making  intelligent  judgments  in  regard  to  the  value  of  different 
tests. 

Prices.  In  the  case  of  tests  which  require  a  copy  for  each 
student,  the  prices  are  given  for  100  copies,  including  four  com- 
plete sets  of  directions  and  necessary  accessories.  For  this  reason 
some  of  the  prices  quoted  do  not  agree  with  those  announced  by 
the  publishers  of  the  tests.  Some  publishers  sell  bulletins  of  di- 
rections separately  from  the  tests.  They  are  not  included  in  an 
order  unless  specifically  requested,  in  which  case  an  extra  charge 
is  made.  After  a  school  system  is  supplied  with  bulletins  of  direc- 
tions, it  will  not  be  necessary  to  purchase  them  with  future  orders 
of  the  tests.  Indeed,  in  the  beginning  the  cost  can  often  be  re- 
duced considerably  by  using  one  set  of  accessories  for  more  than 
twenty-five  pupils.  Especially  in  cases  where  large  numbers  of 
pupils  are  being  tested  is  this  practicable. 

In  the  case  of  tests  or  scales  which  are  designed  to  be  used 
only  by  the  teacher  and  consequently  only  one  copy  is  needed  for 
a  class,  the  prices  are  given  for  single  copies.  An  attempt  has 
been  made  to  secure  accurate  prices  but  it  should  be  remembered 
that  most  publishers  reserve  the  right  to  change  prices  without 
notice.  For  this  reason,  too  much  dependence  should  not  be  placed 
upon  the  prices  given.  Some  publishers  allow  a  discount  when 
tests  are  purchased  in  quantities.  In  many  cases  the  purchaser  is 
required  to  pay  transportation  charges  in  addition  to  the  prices 
quoted.

Planning  a  testing  program.  One's  purpose  should  always  be 
the  guide  in  planning  a  testing  program.  As  pointed  out  in  the 
beginning  of  this  circular  a  test  should  never  be  given  until  there 
is  a  definite  plan  for  making  use  of  the  information  obtained.  This 
applies  to  a  single  test  but  even  more  emphatically  to  a  testing 
program  which  involves  the  giving  of  a  group  of  tests.  However, 
some  purposes  call  for  a  group  of  tests  and  in  such  cases  attention 
is  called  to  the  batteries  of  educational  tests  listed  on  page  19.  Cer- 
tain tests  have  been  grouped  together  in  such  a  way  that  it  is 
possible  to  realize  certain  educational  values  from  them.  The  use 
of  these  batteries  of  educational  tests  is  recommended  when  they 
are  appropriate  to  one 's  purpose. 


ARITHMETIC 
Buckingham  Scale  for  Problems  in  Arithmetic 

Division  I,  for  Grades  III  and  IV 

Division  II,  for  Grades  V  and  VI 

Division  III,  for  Grades  VII  and  VIII 

Forms  1  and  2  of  each 

This  is  a  power  test.  The  structure  suggests  that  the  scores  yielded  by 
the  different  divisions  are  comparable.  Experience  in  using  the  scale  has 
shown  this  not  to  be  true.

Cleveland  Survey  Tests  in  Arithmetic 

This  is  a  battery  of  fifteen  tests  for  use  in  Grades  III  to  VIII.     It  is 

most  useful  for  diagnostic  purposes,  but  may  be  used  for  making  a  general 

survey.     It  includes  thirteen  tests  on  integers  and  two  on  common  fractions.

Courtis  Standard  Research  Tests,  Series  B 

Forms  1,  2,  3,  and  4 

This  is  the  well-known  series  of  Courtis  Arithmetic  Tests  for  use  in 
Grades  IV  to  VIII.  These  tests  are  general  in  the  sense  that  there  is  only 
one  for  each  operation  with  integers.  They  are  diagnostic  in  the  sense  that 
separate  information  is  yielded  for  each  operation.

Lunceford  Diagnostic  Test  in  Addition 

Forms  1  and  2 

This  is  a  test  dealing  with  the  addition  of  pairs  of  single  digits.  Al- 
though intended  for  use  in  the  primary  grades,  it  may  also  be  used  in  the 
upper  ones.     The  two  forms  are  contained  in  the  same  folder.

Scale  I,  for  Grades  III,  IV,  and  V 

Scale  II,  for  Grades  VI,  VII,  and  VIII 

Forms  1,  2,  and  3  of  each 

Although  each  consists  of  several  sub-tests,  these  scales  were  designed 
for  survey  purposes  only  and  are  not  recommended  for  diagnostic  purposes. 
Scale  I  deals  with  integers  alone,  but  Scale  II  also  includes  common  and 
decimal  fractions.  The  different  forms  have  been  shown  to  be  approximately 
equivalent  in  difficulty.

Test  I,  for  Grades  IV  and  V 

Test  II,  for  Grades  VI  and  VII 

Test  III,  for  Grade  VIII 

Forms  1  and  2  of  each 

These  tests,  which  deal  with  written  problems,  yield  separate  scores  for 
correct  answers  and  correct  principle.  No  study  has  been  made  of  the  equiva- 
lence of  the  twro  forms.  No  attempt  has  been  made  to  arrive  at  a  basis  for 
comparing  the  scores  yielded  by  the  different  tests.

COMPOSITION 
Hudelson  Typical  Composition  Ability  Scale 

This  has  more  or  less  superseded  the  author's  earlier  English  Composi- 
tion Scale.  It  is  printed  on  a  single  sheet  instead  of  in  booklet  form,  which 
renders  it  more  convenient.  The  specimens  on  the  scale  are  graded  in  terms 
of  Hillegas  values.

DRAWING 

Kline-Carey  Measuring  Scale  for  Free-Hand  Drawing 

Part   I — Eepresentation 

This  scale  is  in  reality  four  scales  which  deal  respectively  with  houses, 
rabbits,  human  figures  in  action,  and  trees  (brush  drawings).  The  authors 
have  stated  that  they  expect  to  prepare  Part  II  on  design  and  composition  and 
Part  III  on  color.  The  four  scales  are  contained  in  a  booklet  which  also  dis- 
cusses their  construction,  etc.  The  scales  themselves  are  folded  inserts  so  that 
all  of  each  can  be  viewed  at  once.
